As I near my goal (4 # from now), I have become fixated on food! I'm not obsessing about the quantity of food I can eat but only the variety, and especially leaning toward the out of the ordinary and even weird stuff . I've started watching all of the food shows on TV, especially those showing the sidewalk food vendors in 3rd world countries selling all kinds of odd stuff, like Zimmern and Bourdain, wishing I was there with them and trying all of the same stuff. My cooking has taken a turn towards preparing appetizers as opposed to meals... small portions of highly seasoned stuff. Although I should be, I'm not concerned in the least about calories or nutritional value because I eat so little as a matter of course. Is anyone else on the same or similar track? I'm really not concerned, I'm just curious.

Good topic! Im not sleeved yet, but I wanna know more about this as I keep hearing this from different people!

I also don't measure calories or nutritional info as I eat so little. I find most foods I used to love, just don't sound interesting anymore. I used to love pasta. The thought of it doesn't turn my stomach or anything, but I just don't see the point in' eating it (if that makes sense). I am very picky flavor wise now, I almost feel empowered, where if I don't like the taste of something I don't feel compelled to finish it. I never did that before. Weird foods have always intrigued me, as a kid we'd go to the highland games, and I loved haggis! I'm almost 7 months out, and down about 90 lbs.
